Whores of Babylon "Happy Fly"

[enkimusic]

One can imagine Enki's surprise this morning when he awoke and saw the Whores of Babylon were playing at the Phoenix Underground, it was in the papers, but nobody had told Enki & when the Babylon Whores showed up at the Phoenix they were a little surprised too. Jesus! Enki went to build a site on My Space for WOB & call it enkimusic but some body else was already using enkimusic but sp. Enkimusic Ltd., and some body else had claimed. Then Enki thought I know what I can call the Music My Space!

1000 views! "Happy Fly" inspired no doubt by Wm. Blake's "Proverbs of Hell". "Happy Fly" the rock song was composed by AE circa. 1984, as it appears "live" in a show by Childsupport, in Berkeley from around that time, and CS nails it live. So ENKI woke up a tad confused this morning when he saw the screen and noticed 1000 views. "Sure took long enough". You can imagine his surprise then when he saw the Whores of Babylon had played and filmed a song in Kalamazoo in 2006, 5 yrs. after WOB ended.

enkimusic correction "Gothic Garages" could not have been recorded in 2002 as the band disbanded New Year's Eve 2002. "Gothic Garages" had just been released, on Halloween at the Bad JuJu & Vogue joint-club CD release party 2001. A really cool review came out in Backfire, and then sadly enough it was all over for a really cool power-trio, that was climbing the club/ venue ladder, just got a manager and already had a team of graphics, photos, films, and computer professionals working, then? . .

and I thought that we were Whores of Babylon, since 1992

The Seattle-based WOB took the name from The Iluminatus (Shea & Anton Wilson, circa. 1975). Whores of Babylon is listed in a giant list of bands and musicians that show up at the start of Part III LEVIATHAN (P568). ENKIMUSIC learned about the Bristol Whores of Babylon, and the band had dissolved into Noiselab? The Seattle based Whores of Babylon were circa 1999-2001 oddly enough, their last show canceled, for New Year's Eve at the Firehouse with Metalchurch, as the bassist flew to Rome.

@enkimusic no worries, yes I have heard of the 70`s Whores of Babylon project too, actually our band became Soundisciples in 1998 but our Whores of Babylon was resurrected in 2000 alongside Soundisciples too. Noiselab was/is a Whores of Babylon related project band.

cool, and once I started checking out the Noiselab/Whores of Babylon, I really liked it, had the same or similar spirit, . . .cool, in the end it is all about the music, and music rules, . . .

over 700 views since HAPPY FLY was posted, other version of the song appears on "Gothic Garages" by the Whores of Babylon. They recorded an album with Jack Endino at Soundhouse in 2002, and Happy Fly was included in the sessions. there is the DVD as well, with an edited version of the live song, and let us not forget a solo version done one blown-out coffee morning in oakland at the mudshack around 1990. Mr Penn has a version somewhere too, so we shall see, . . .

"Happy Fly" was composed a long time ago, sometime in the 80s, as Childsupport played the song at one time. There is a live recording of "Happy Fly" performed by Childsupport at Ruthie's Inn in Berkeley probably 1985. Anyway, this Seattle based trio shreds the song written by Allen Ensign.
